The Gemini 500Pro 2-Light Kit from Bowens is aimed at photographers who need a durable, simple-to-operate strobe set-up in the studio or on location. The kit contains 2 complete monolights, a reflector, 36" umbrella, a softbox, two stands, a stand bag and rolling kit case. The 500Pro is a lightweight, compact 500Ws monolight with a 250W proportional modeling lamp, 1.1 second recycle time and a flash duration as short as 1/2900 sec., which is fast enough to freeze most movements.
The 500Pro has built-in wireless trigger capability via separate purchase of Bowens' Pulsar Tx transmitter/receiver system. The control dials and LED read-out of the 500Pro allow full stop and 1/10th stop control of the flash output enabling you to rapidly gain correct exposure.
The Pro series monolights feature voltage sensing circuitry allowing worldwide usage. When AC power is not available the 500Pro can be powered with the Bowens Travelpak battery system. This system is capable of providing up to 750 full-power flashes on a single charge.

question
Will these work with Pocket Wizard?
Yes, of course.

question
The spec sheet for this unit says it can be used at 230V mains supply. Do I need to use then another bulb for the modeling light? Or can the original 120V type stay in the unit, i.e. the voltage supply for the modeling bulb stays at 120V no matter which mains voltage has been connected?
The Pro version power is universal. Can take 90-130/190-250V AC 60/50Hz. The internal power supply will convert the power for the modeling light. That will stay the same no matter the power input.

question
What are/is the differences between the Bowens 500Pro and the 500R series?
The differences between the 500Pro versus the 500R monolights are feature based with the 500Pro offering a shorter flash duration, faster recycling time and multi-voltage capability over the 500R.

question
Are the 500 pro's fan cooled?

question
what's the difference between the 'gemini 500 pro' and the 'gemini 500 pro pw' ? are they not the exact same item ?
the PW model is compatible with the pocket wizard triggering technology and the non-PW uses Bowens proprietary Pulsar trigger technology. Both have internal receivers, but one responds to Pocket Wizard and one responds to Pulsar
